Brixworth and District Newsletter Learn, Laugh, Live Brixworth and District Newsletter Learn, laugh, live Registered Charity No 1178196 Issue 72 April 2021 Following two excellent articles in the last two editions of Third Age Matters (TAM), which I hope you all read and enjoyed, I thought it would be appropriate to introduce a rock corner into our Brixworth & District Newsletter, as we are all Never Too Old To Rock. So, to kick off, I thought I would put together a short list of music I would recommend you listen to, if you are that way inclined. The first of them is an oldie, but a goody from 1974, and in my humble opinion, a suitable challenger to the classic Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin. The guitar work in fantastic, ably supported by an excellent rhythm section, particularly the drums. The whole thing makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. The track is “County Fair”, taken from the Joe Walsh album ‘So What’. In case Joe is not familiar to you, he was the front man with the US band The James Gang, who recorded some fine music in the late sixties – that magic decade – until he started his own band Joe Walsh & Barnstorm, their mega hit being “Rocky Mountain Way”. Joe Walsh later became a member of The Eagles. Joe Walsh - County Fair - YouTube The next features part of a studio set, that is the guitar solo from “Regret #9” from the 2015 Steven Wilson album ‘Hand Cannot Erase’. I imagine not many of you will be familiar with Steven Wilson, who was a member of the major Prog Rock band Porcupine Tree, mentioned in the latest TAM. Now, that is a band worth listening to. After a shaky start, when finding their feet so to speak, when the music was a bit lame, they later produced some tremendous prog rock album. I would particular recommend their live in-concert (2 DVD) and, to whet your appetite, I have included their amazing “Anesthetize” albeit 17 minutes long. But stick to it, because it’s well worth it. Guthrie Govan - Regret #9 - Guitar Solo - YouTube Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize - live (Tilburg, Netherlands) Full Song - YouTube To slow things down a bit, but with a lot of emotion, is the next track by the English prog rock band Camel, heady by Andrew Latimer on guitar. “Ice” was the last track on their 1979 album ‘I Can See Your House From Here’ – strangely the same title given to a 1994 album by Pat Metheny & John Schofield, two guitar giants of the jazz world. I have long been a fan of the music of Camel and was fortunate enough to see them, with fellow u3a member Denise Cowling of Maidwell, at Maidstone’s Rambling Man Music Festive in 1915 and again at the Royal Albert Hall in 1917. On both occasions, the very moving “Ice” was performed. Amazing. Camel - "Ice" (Live) - YouTube We close this edition with two more instrumental tunes. The first taken from the 2010 album ‘6 String Theory’ by Lee Ritenour. For this project, Lee called in a load of big-name guitarists to join him, with the track “68” written by Steve Lukather (lead guitar with the fabulous TOTO), and performed by him, Slash from Guns & Roses, Neal Schon from Journey, and of course Lee Ritenour, all masters of their art. I had the thrill of seeing Steve Lukather perform the tune live at The Robin 2 in Bilston many years ago, when I met the man himself, having a met-and-greet VIP ticket, the umpteenth time I have seen him play, either with his own band, or with TOTO. Steve Lukather & Lee Ritenour's "68" - Bing video The last track will be very familiar to many music lovers of all genre of music, because it does what I like very much – a mix of classical music, with rock. Patrick Rondat sprang to fame as the only guitarist to play with the all-keyboard band that was Jean Michel Jarre who, my two sons and I have seen on many occasions, and whose music forms a big part of my collection. Patrick is a Frenchman, who so impressed everyone who attended JMJ concerts, he eventually released albums in his own right, of which I have two. And it is from his third album, that he recorded in the studio, the tune he had play live at the JMJ outdoor gigs, including the Concert for Tolerance in Paris in 1993. That was when I first saw him, but on VHS. So, this is where Vivaldi gets electrifyingly good, while I still like the original as well, of course. Patrick Rondat - Vivaldi Tribute - Live at "Le Rendez-Vous" (Martigues, France) - YouTube Rock On, Tommy Tell me what you think, just in case you want me to do something like this for the next newsletter, or perhaps not!

  • Live Among the White Trash: a History of Nono----Manman on Stage
    Live Among the White Trash: A history of nono----manman on stage “There are no No-Man concerts scheduled for the foreseeable future.” (from the official no-man website) Anyone who has followed no-man’s career over the previous ten years or so will be acutely aware that the band does not play live. If no-man “exist” as a band at all – and their infrequent releases mean they are more an ongoing understanding between two men rather than an active unit – it is only in the studio. Over a series of uncompromising albums no-man’s music has become ever more complex, yet ironically, “live sounding” than the release which proceeded it. But this organic “liveness” is mainly an illusion; the feeling of spontaneity often the result of numerous edits and takes which only the precision of studio work can produce. Others have tried to perform equally difficult music live: Radiohead ambitiously thrusting their clicks-and- cuts post-rock upon the world’s stadiums, for example. But for a variety of reasons, no-man simply haven’t tried – at least, not since 1994 and not until a one-off performance in 2006. The only comparable case is Talk Talk’s retreat into the studio in the late 1980s. Both bands have undoubtedly crafted their best work without going near an audience. 1 But it wasn’t always so. no-man were once very much a live act, promoting singles and albums with dates and undertaking two full-blown tours – though they rarely played outside London, never went further north than Newcastle, and never played outside Great Britain.

  • Surround Sound Auteurs and the Fragmenting of Genre
    Alan Williams: Surround Sound Auteurs and the Fragmenting of Genre Proceedings of the 12th Art of Record Production Conference Mono: Stereo: Multi Williams, A. (2019). Surround Sound Auteurs and the Fragmenting of Genre. In J.-O. Gullö (Ed.), Proceedings of the 12th Art of Record Production Conference Mono: Stereo: Multi (pp. 319-328). Stockholm: Royal College of Music (KMH) & Art of Record Production. Alan Williams: Surround Sound Auteurs and the Fragmenting of Genre Abstract Multi-channel sonic experience is derived from a myriad of technological processes, shaped by market forces, configured by creative decision makers and translated through audience taste preferences. From the failed launch of quadrophonic sound in the 1970s, through the currently limited, yet sustained niche market for 5.1 music releases, a select number of mix engineers and producers established paradigms for defining expanded sound stages. Whe- reas stereophonic mix practices in popular music became ever more codified during the 1970s, the relative paucity of multi-channel releases has preserved the individual sonic fingerprint of mixers working in surround sound. More- over, market forces have constricted their work to musical genres that appeal to the audiophile community that supports the format. This study examines the work of Elliot Scheiner, Bob Clearmountain, Giles Martin, and Steven Wilson to not only analyze the sonic signatures of their mixes, but to address how their conceptions of the soundstage become associated with specific genres, and serve to establish micro-genres of their own. I conclude by ar- guing that auteurs such as Steven Wilson have amassed an audience for their mixes, with a catalog that crosses genre boundaries, establishing a mode of listening that in itself represents an emergent genre – surround rock.

  • Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975)”—The Eagles (1976) Added to the Registry: 2016 Essay by Marc Eliot (Guest Post)*
    “Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975)”—The Eagles (1976) Added to the Registry: 2016 Essay by Marc Eliot (guest post)* The Eagles In 1971, the arrival of The Eagles signaled a major shift in popular musical tastes in America. If Woodstock was the funeral for both the music and the culture of a decade of drugged out, hippie, free love and cultish idealism, the Seventies was the decade of blatant decadence, political cynicism, sexual distrust, and rampant narcissism. No band represented both the rejection of the Sixties and the celebration of the Seventies more than its crown princes, the Eagles. Songs like “Lyin’ Eyes,” “Witchy Woman,” “One of These Nights,” and “Already Gone,” filled with spirited playing, close harmonies and an overlay of the Eagles’ war between the sexes, comprise four of the ten selections included in the initial compilation of Eagles’ hit songs from their first four albums, “Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975).” Ironically, although the Eagles’ laid-back sound was bright and natural as Southern California sunshine, none of the original four members were Golden State natives (Don Henley, vocalist, lyricist, drummer, was from Texas, bred on bluegrass and country music; Glenn Frey, vocalist, lyricist, rhythm guitar, pianist, came from the streets of Detroit, influenced by the music of Motown and mentored by Bob Seger; Randy Meisner, on bass, was a veteran bar band night sider out of Nebraska; Bernie Leadon, guitar, mandolin, banjo, was a Minnesotan who loved and loved to play classic country). Each migrated separately to Los Angeles, like lemmings, to The Troubadour, the musical and cultural ground zero club on Santa Monica Boulevard, owned and operated by Doug Weston, who favored putting on his stage country-rock bands and female vocalists.

  • Porcupine Tree — the Sound of Muzak 13 — 14
    Porcupine Tree The Sound Of Muzak Track Porcupine Tree — The Sound Of Muzak 13 — 14 Als 2002 zum Album „In Absentia“ Gavin Harrison als neuer Drummer zu Porcupine Tree kam, holte man damit einen echten Spezialisten für vertrackte Rhythmen an Bord. Polyrhythmik, Akzentverschiebungen und ungeraden Rhythmen machen sein Spiel unverwechselbar. Genau diese Stilelemente findet man auch in „Sound Of DH: Was macht den Drumpart von „The Sound Of Muzak“ Muzak“. Dazu kurz vorweg: Dieser Song ist rhythmisch und denn so charakteristisch? spieltechnisch ein echter Brecher, also nicht unbedingt was für Einsteiger. Aber dafür dürfen wir mit Stolz verkünden, Gavin: Es is ist das spezielle Feel in der Strophe. Den dass Gavin höchstselbst unsere Transkription gecheckt hat Hauptrhythmus denke ich als 7/8-Takt, aber darüber spiele und als „... the most accurate version I've seen of this Song!“ 7/4. Das gibt dem Hörer eine bessere Orientierung. Wenn bezeichnet hat. ich diese Viertel-Akzentuierung wegließe, wäre es ein sehr Zudem stand Harrison uns noch für das folgende Mini- ruckeliger Rhythmus. Interview Rede und Antwort: DH: Wie lange benötigtest du, um deinen Drumpart für „The DH: Gavin, die meisten Songs von Porcupine Tree schreibt Sound Of Muzak“ aufzunehmen? Steve Wilson. Gibt er dir auch genau vor, wie du deinen Part zu spielen hast? Gavin: Ich glaube, der Song war mit dem ersten Take im Kasten. Gavin: Also, dieser Song war fertig, bevor ich zur Band stieß. Ich flog nach New York als Session Drummer und spielte das Album in sechs Tagen ein. Steve hatte das 7/8-Pattern auf einem Drumcomputer programmiert.

  • Steven Wilson at the Colston Hall by the Bristol Post | Posted: January 27, 2016 by by Michael Scanlan
    REVIEW: Steven Wilson at the Colston Hall By The Bristol Post | Posted: January 27, 2016 By By Michael Scanlan Steven Wilson at the Colston Hall YOU may have thought Prog Rock was dead. It ruled the world in the early 70s when bands like Yes, ELP and King Crimson strode the earth like mighty dinosaurs. Prog seemed to get swept away in the musical upheaval of Punk Rock, but really it just moved sideways into its own little niche. Currently the top dog in that little niche is probably Steven Wilson, who was at the Colston Hall on Tuesday night to show prog still rules for a lot of people. Far from a household name, Wilson is a very big fish in the progressive rock pond, but swims under the radar of mainstream recognition (to mix a metaphor or two). He's sold a shedload of albums, been four times nominated for the Grammy Awards and was crowned "King Of Prog Rock" in the 2015 Progressive Music Awards. He's also in great demand as remix producer of choice for all those top prog band of the 70s as they re-release now classic albums, revitalising recordings by Yes, King Crimson, Jethro Tull and XTC, among others. The influences of Yes, Genesis, Crimson et al were present in Tuesday night's performance but there were plenty of more modern influences and creativity as the music swung from the melodic to hard-hitting – extremely hard-hitting – industrial metal. The first section of the close-to-three-hour concert was devoted to Wilson's latest album Hand.

  • History of the U.S. Attorneys
    Bicentennial Celebration of the United States Attorneys 1789 - 1989 "The United States Attorney is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all; and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done. As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the twofold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor– indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, he is not at liberty to strike foul ones. It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just one." QUOTED FROM STATEMENT OF MR. JUSTICE SUTHERLAND, BERGER V. UNITED STATES, 295 U. S. 88 (1935) Note: The information in this document was compiled from historical records maintained by the Offices of the United States Attorneys and by the Department of Justice. Every effort has been made to prepare accurate information. In some instances, this document mentions officials without the “United States Attorney” title, who nevertheless served under federal appointment to enforce the laws of the United States in federal territories prior to statehood and the creation of a federal judicial district. INTRODUCTION In this, the Bicentennial Year of the United States Constitution, the people of America find cause to celebrate the principles formulated at the inception of the nation Alexis de Tocqueville called, “The Great Experiment.” The experiment has worked, and the survival of the Constitution is proof of that.

    news #34 MUNGOLIAN JETSET - MUNGODELICS Hot on the heels of 2011`s "Schlungs", the Jetsetters have kept those buttons busily pushed, and are already here with their next chapter installment, featuring 8 new nuggets entitled "Mungodelics". The album is essentially a psychodramatic sequel to the highly acclaimed "We Gave It All Away, Now We Are Taking It Back" album of 2009, as it is musically a blend of originals and remakes made into originals, as well as solo performances and external collaborations from the band`s musical core members, Knut Saevik and Paul "Strangefruit" Nyhus. All in all, "Mungodelics" musically summons everything that is hazy, dazy, underearthly and crazy. This is the Mungolian Jetset taking you on a ride through the seasons, and shifts of the days and nights, from the Cantina to the Ewok forest, via ritualistic dancing at Kilmin Taboour and stellar swimming in the galactic Goa.
